About
Thirty-five years ago, I graduated from Logan University in Chesterfield, Missouri. I began my career with a simple purpose: to serve others and help people regain their health, mobility, and quality of life. Over the years, that mission has brought me more joy and fulfillment than I ever imagined.
I practiced in Missouri for 15 years before having the privilege of serving our Military members and their families as the Chiropractic Physician at Scott Air Force Base from 2006-2026. Supporting those who serve our country has been one of the greatest honors of my career.
In addition to clinical care, I have served as adjunct faculty for three chiropractic universities and have mentored more than 150 chiropractic physicians. My goal has always been to promote lifelong learning, clinical excellence, and compassionate, patient-centered care.
Today, I am proud to offer my services in Downtown Belleville, Illinois. I provide evidence-based, personalized chiropractic care tailored to each patient's specific condition, goals, and lifestyle. I believe that education is one of the most powerful tools in healthcare, and I strive to help my patients understand their condition so they can take an active role in their recovery and long-term health.
If you are struggling with pain, injury, limited mobility, or have not found lasting relief with previous treatments, I would be honored to review your medical history, imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound), past diagnoses, and prior care to determine if chiropractic treatment is right for you.
My mission remains simple: to enhance the quality of life of every patient I serve through comprehensive, individualized chiropractic care.
